.... I'd agree depending on what you call reasoanble. In
many situations cable runs of 10's of feet is used.

So what?

an inductor is a coil of wire.

An inductor is a coil of wire that has surprizingly little in common with a
cable. In fact, cables minimize their inductance by simply having two
conductors that are close to each other and have current flowing in them in
opposite directions.

Heck, you can buy wire would
resistors that are non-inductive and they are not very
long....

????

Naim amps need a highly inductive speaker wire
to keep it from oscillating into difficult ie capacitive
loads.

That is known as an amplifier that is very poorly designed.

Wasn't Kimber cable braided flat so it could fit
into carpets...

Braided speaker cable was not an innovation of Kimber.

many parallel strands of wire make a good capacitor.

Simply not true. Most cables are formed of parallel strands of wire, and
few if any of them are very good capacitors.

Well, they ARE good capacitors, just very tiny ones. They may even have an
affect on signals that pass through them, as long as those signals are on the
order of 100 MHz of so. 8^)
